Reviews

’...stimulating and accessible...superb collection of essays by international scholars, under the judicious editorship of David Cantor.’ The Lancet '... What a good idea this was for a book... not only a good idea in theory but also a well-executed one in practice... An introduction and thirteen essays of a uniformly high standard address the theme without straying... a most rewarding read about a man who was all things to all doctors.' Medical History '... these fine articles illuminate a legacy that has previously been subjected to limited analytic reflection, and they will provide a provocative point of reference for medical historians of many different periods.' British Journal for the History of Science
